Sex And Creativity: Is There A Connection?

As seen on Innovation Playground: Sex And Creativity: Is There A Connection? A study shows that the number of sexual partners corresponds to creative output. An excerpt:

Psychologists at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne and the Open University found that professional artists and poets have about twice as many sexual partners as other people. The study also shows that the average number of sexual partners increased as creative output went up. So the more creative you are, the more sexual partners you should have.

I believe our creative motivations are often based on some of our most primal passions, such as joy, fear, anger, love and lust. In an article Creative Juice – A Dozen Key Lessons for Creative Dreamers, Suzanne Falter-Barns quotes Deepak Chopra: “Creativity is ultimately sexual – I’m sorry — but it is!” I am not a Chopra fan, but he may be right this time. Love and lust make us think differently in that it triggers global processing, which in turn promotes creative thinking. Love and lust are good for creativity.

Ahem, ahem. So who has been particularly prolific (creatively, which may imply also reproductively) this past 2009? Off the top of my head, I can think of one young lady, but I'm sure if I were to think harder I could come up with some more writerly types. Maybe this one? Or this one? We might also wish to consider who did not produce much this past year. We might also want to consider the output of writers from other years. 

Just being naughty. All in jest. Hwe hwe hwe. :D
